Since it looks as though my hopes for a trip to the UK this summer are once again a bust, my daughter Maggie's making noise about visiting Quebec, where she spent a happy week with her classmates last year. I'm game, but would like to time it to coincide with some good music.
So- are there any folk festivals or other events in or near Quebec city in July or early August?

Thanks-
Allison

Get in touch with Penny Rose in Morin Heights. Don't have her address but I'll try to find it for you. Another thing you might try is the folk club, The Yellow Door on Aylmer Street--google that. Also, try CHUT Radio in Montreal and ask for Mike Regenstrief.

Take a look at this:

Thirty Below

Thirty Below is a wonderful catalogue of Quebecois music, and the links page has a lot of useful sources. (includes French Canadian music, folk, Celtic, etc.)

The Festival d'Ete de la Chanson Francophone has always been one of our favorite summer events in Quebec City; for ten days in July, there is music everywhere. Here's the address:

If you're in Montreal, drop in to McKibbins pub, Bishop Street just north of Ste Catherine on Saturday from 6 - 9pm and Sunday 7 - 10pm and bring a song or an instrument (or both) and a sense of humour. Not your average Irish Music session!
